There are pros and cons to it, and there is a free education membership (you need to ask for it) that allows you to download movies, make longer ones, etc. I applied and will let you know how it goes. The videos seem a bit frantic, but as pointed out, that might have been my choice of music (but I could not resist the song called Days, right?) Cheryl, I don't see a 'slow-down' button. That would be cool. Kevin Glad that you gave it a try, Delaine.

Cheryl, I don’t see a ’slow-down’ button. That would be cool.

I'm definitely going to see if I can use it for the seniors' pictures, and then upload and share. My students would be so pleased. Thanks so much for the new toy.

I saw some fantastic uses of it on Maria Knee's Kindergarten blog. I think it's great to have variety of means of expression- writing all the time can get dry- introducing images, music, audio narrative, video, slideshares are a great way to express ourselves in a variety of ways and to keep viewers engaged.

I often do this when making a presentation, try something new, evaluate, get feedback and then either reuse it or move on. I don't recall if it is slideshow or slide.com where you can control the speed of the playback, if animoto had the speed feature, I agree it would slow it down for reading. However, your purpose, you got all of us to click and read, keep on engaging us. Kevin, great way to share new web 2.0 tools.

What a fun application, and I would really like to try it with pics of my seniors. How do I get Animoto? As for the sentences, well, I like to just be able to read them as text, but I love getting to see everyone's blog site in Animoto. You get an A. I was VERY impressed.

Did she add titles afterwards? In a video editor? Must be. I would love to know how it goes with your classroom code for Animoto. Mary, it is always a pleasure. Kevin Diane

Animoto lets you remix if you are unhappy and I’ve found so far the the most effective way to substantially change your video is to change the music. The transitions are tied to the beat. I’ve just received my classroom code for Animoto and am looking forward to some more control over the finished product. With the classroom version you can download the video and then import it into your video editor. Although she didn’t do this video in Animoto, Silvia has created an Animoto-looking product. I really like the impact of her captions at the bottom of the screen. I’d like to try editing those into an Animoto movie clip. Here’s the link to Silvia’s movie. I hope it behaves here: http://tinyurl.com/67me2l Kevin, yes sometimes you just have to let go and go with the flow :-).

Can Animato handle video clips, or just still? Very fun to watch, Kevin. Can Animato handle video clips, or just still?
